About
The Anarchist Library - https://
This page is intended to share & discuss texts. It is also to organize and coordinate… More uploading new texts to the Anarchist Library website. It is not to share memes or non-anarchist errata. Those get removed. Thanks!
The Internet has allowed us an amazing opportunity to share anarchist texts widely. This has allowed more people than ever access to obscure anarchist literature and propaganda. The few existing anarchist archives have all been helpful and inspirational to this project, which arises due to the inactivity of the existing online anarchist archives, with little sign that anyone is specifically serving as a librarian (commonly lacking introduction, curation, updating, or all of the above). A library is either active or dying and with the Internet popping with new anarchist texts every day, we believe it would be a shame to not attend to them.
Our group is comprised of anarchists spread across 10 time zones that use conversational consensus to review, edit and update the site. We are an open group.
Besides providing you with a more inclusive and coherent forum to access existing anarchist texts, The Anarchist Library offers clean site design, active curation, and clean, typographically
*What is the significance of typographically
Short answer: they look better.
Longer answer: the creation of PDFs from the library text transforms this project from merely an online browsing source to a place where portable analog documents can be created for distribution, sharing, and sneaking into the hands of people who wouldn't otherwise find the texts. The website is pull, printed material is push.
*How can I help?*
You can help us uploading your favorite anarchist document that isn't already on the library. Remember to pay close attention to the uploading instructions as they are technically specific. If you have ever manually-edited

"The more people become aware, through reflection, of their servile conditions, the more indignant they become, the more the anarchist spirit of freedom, determination and action waxes inside them. That is true… More of every individual, man or woman, even though they may never have heard of the word “anarchism” before...Anarchism means man living free and working constructively. It means the destruction of everything that is directed against a people's natural, healthy aspirations. The social and political visage of anarchism is a free, anti-authoritarian society, one that enshrines freedom, equality and solidarity between all its members."

Hello! I'm planning what the school I teach for calls a "Diversity, Equity & Inclusion" Unit for my woodshop class. However, being an anarchist I'm hoping to take it beyond DEI and do some more structural analysis. I'm looking for articles or podcasts with an anarchist perspective on the trades. Possible topics could be:
-racism/antiracism… More
-patriarchy/feminism
-ableism
-division of labor (aka how did a certain set of jobs come to be labeled "the trades")
-comparing the history of class struggle in the trades vs. other industries
Thank you for your help!

Although the main focus is the history of AJODA, this essay by Jason McQuinn offers some good insight into the post-WWII developments of North American anarchism. I highly recommend it, even though it doesn't… More continue past 1989.
Also, if any of you know good companion pieces to this (perhaps not so focused on publishing) or follow-up from the early 1990's to now, please comment below!

I am currently writing a series of pamphlets to outline the basic ideology of Anarcho-Communism. I know Kropotkin established this already but I think having something more digestible will be good for the future of anarchism. Would anyone be interested in a copy completely free?
EDIT: In a few weeks I will be releasing the first batch of Pamphlet One Entitled "The Class Struggle" so stay tuned.

My book “Pangayaw, Decolonizing Resistance -- Anarchism in the Philippines” will be out in December this year. Unfortunately, one of the important parts of this book was uploaded in “The Anarchist… More Library” without my consent by Miggoy Miggoy (FB account) of Bandilang Itim (BI). Our line of communication is always open. You could have consulted me before you acted para mai-align sa series of activities planned by comrades and collectives sa network. By the way this is the second time na ginawa mo ito, you uploaded contents of Gasera Journal to BI’s blog and to other international websites without consulting people behind the publication.
Miggoy you should be reminded that Black Flag or Bandilang Itim is an anarchist symbol, it is an anti-authoritarian politics based on respect; mutual-cooperation, autonomy, ecology and love. Please try to reflect, were your actions consistent to these basic principles?

Pangayaw & Decolonizing Resistance Anarchism in the Philippines by Gabriel Kuhn, Bas Umali
The legacy of anarchist ideas in the Philippines was first brought to the attention of a global audience by Benedict Anderson's book Under Three Flags: Anarchism and the Anti-Colonial Imagination. Activist-author Bas Umali proves with stunning evidence that anarchist ideas are still alive in a count...

The library needs texts on Buddhist anarchism!
Hello folks,
The library is sorely lacking in Buddhist anarchist texts.
If you know of Buddhist anarchist texts that are already on the library but are not tagged… More as such, please go to its page and press the edit button and then add "Buddhist anarchism" to the list of topics (under #SORTtopics).
If there are Buddhist anarchists texts that are online but are not on the library, please add them here: <https://theanarchistlibrary.org/action/text/new>.
If there are Buddhist anarchist texts that aren't online but you have a physical copy of these, consider scanning these, processing these through OCR, and then uploading it to the anarchist library. <https://theanarchistlibrary.org/action/text/new>.
Let's make a Buddhist Anarchist section on the library!

input appreciated for next time I come across such a question on social media. Short and sweet please.
In an anarchist society...
Q:And how would you run such a thing without sociopathic politicians taking it over just like every other form of government?
A: "Most folks don't have unlimited greed or lust for power, it's just that climbing on to the top of the hierarchy in today's society is how you guarantee your own safety and wellbeing. Anarchism… More offers a different route, one built on solidarity and mutually beneficial interactions with others, recognizing that they, not a power structure and not ownership of things, are the things we truly rely on for our wellbeing. So once we've gotten to that point, anyone trying to reinstitute the old hierarchies would look as strange as someone running… More
